Hey everyone! I'm almost finished building my PC but I'm stuck on which motherboard to get. I'm considering three options: the Asus TUF B650E-Plus for 160€, the Asus B850-E for 170€, and the Aorus Elite B650 for 150€. I don't plan on using Wi-Fi since I will be connecting via Ethernet. Which one would you recommend?

The B650E is a better choice than the B650. It offers a superior chipset, including PCIe 5.0 on the main slot, which could be beneficial for future upgrades.
Do you need Bluetooth? I usually prefer motherboards that come with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth just in case. It makes things easier in the long run.
If Wi-Fi and Bluetooth aren't requirements, the Aorus is a solid option. But for better features and performance, go for the Asus TUF B650E-Plus—it has great VRM power stages. By the way, have you checked if the TUF GAMING B850-PLUS WIFI is available? It has a good balance of features.
Yes, the B850-PLUS is available, but it's priced at 210€. Do you think it's worth the extra 50€?
